# Belongs to category:
Mirrors

# Description and specifications:
Transmitted light collector with a flip-out wide field lens and mirror prism for the Reichert Austria Zetopan microscope.

Mechanically, this collector is located inside the microscope base beneath the condenser. It is secured from above with three screws. The collector housing also incorporates a holder for 32 mm round filters.

This component performs several functions:
- it collimates the light beam
- it also serves as a holder for round filters
- it redirects the horizontal light beam coming from the lamp house vertically upwards
- the flip-out wide field lens provides even illumination of the entire specimen when using low-magnification objectives

Replacement of this collector in a Reichert Zetopan microscope may be necessary in the following situations, among others:
- if this component is missing because someone removed it, for example during an unfinished repair
- if the upper protective glass of the collector has been broken
- if the mechanism operating the flip-out wide field lens has been damaged
- if - as often happens - the mirror prism has been damaged, broken, or its reflective surface has deteriorated through oxidation

Information from the manufacturer's English-language catalogue "Zetopan Research Microscope. Price List, Effective December 1, 1976":
- This component belongs to the microscope stand. The catalogue number of the stand is: 9 90 00 01

The last photographs in the gallery show the base of a Reichert Zetopan microscope (in this case the older black version). An arrow indicates exactly which component it is and where it is located. The collector is shown both from the outside and in its installed position inside the microscope base. This makes it easy to identify the component correctly.
